to deduct the amount collected in June,

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
The Law Concerning tho Sa'a-y CT Csuufy
sehoo, Sup-ript~nd-p,s.

The Law Concerning tho Saa-y CT County
sehoo, sup-rint~nd-n's.
A case of general interest all over the
State was decided in the State Supreme
Court on Saturday. 1t was that of ". G.
Smith OF Golden VS.. the Commissioners of
jefferson county. and the decision affects
the salary OF all County School Superin-
tendents in the State. Mr. Smith is the edi-
tor of the Golden Giob,, and also School Su-
perin:endent of jefferson county. The law
provides that the salary of the County
School Superintendent shall be s. per day,
but shall not exceed 800 for each school
district organized in the county. The
County Commissioners of jefferson county
cut down Mr.. Smiths salary, and he
brought suit to recover the full amount as
allowed by the law. The suit was first tried
in the District Court of Jefferson county
and the County Commissioners were sus-
tanned.
Mf. Smith carried the case to the Supreme
Court, and owing to its general interest the
case was advanced on the docket. The
court reversed the decision of the lower
court and allowed Mr.. Smith the full
amount Of his claim. holding that the
County Commissioners had no right TO re-
duce the amount unless they could show
that the claim was unjust.
Thus the Iu!e is set tina; the County Com
missioners cannot themselves regulate the
salary Of the County Superintendent. Mr..
Smith has been vindicated in his position.
The decision Of the court of jefferson
county placed him in the light OF asking
more for his services than the law allowed.

The Presbyterian General Assembly

OMAHA, Neb.. May 25.-To-dny's

bly, was mostly taken up with foreign mis-
sionary talk. DR.. Hayden presented the re-
port OF the Committee on the Foreign Com

missions In Japan was remarkable, and the
yearly increase Of converts in that country
was 10 per cent The needs for next year $
foreign missionary work would be not less
than 81 ,0oo, 900, which would represent but
three cents per week per capita.
DIR. Ellingwood, Secretary of the Mission.
AIRY Board, said the appropriation for the
year had been but Sis, 900, but they had re-
ceived s7si, 900. He paid high compli-
mcnt to William Rankin, the aged trcasur-
or OF the board, who was about TO retire af-
ter thirty-seven years service. During his
incumbency he had handled $4,000. 900 and
had contributed one-fourth OF his salary,
amounting TO about 80, 600. In all they had
thirty. four missions in seventeen different
countries. They had 800 missionaries from
this country and 2ss native missionaries,
with teachers In the different grades, SWELL
Ing tho number Of their dependents to l.
800. One million dollars for the next year
was asked for.
DR.. Chatturjee, native missionary Of In.
dia, wearing his native costume, made an
interesting address on the condition Of mis-
sionnry work In India, showing the work in
that country to be progressing in All ell.
couraging manner. He praised tho Aneri.
can Presbyterians for their efforts and lib
crnllty In that direction. and hoped they
wonld continue. He spoke fuently in Eng.
lish and made good impression. He was
followed by Treasurer Rankin, who gave

There is probability that suit will
be brought against the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad company, growing out OF
the recent accident near Saiida in which
Miss Leslie was killed and several persons
were injured. The ground On which 1t
would be based Is that the Pullman sleeper
attached to the train was Of broad guage
length, and that the attempt to run it on
narrow guage track, with its short curves
was an unsuitable arrangement.
